Club kid looking in fridge

Nutritious food is an essential part of growing up, but 1 in 5 children doesn’t have consistent access to healthy meals.* When summer begins, that gap widens, leaving too many kids without the nourishment they need during the school year.

Thanks to our partnership with Maytag brand, Boys & Girls Clubs across the country are helping to fill the gap — and the fridge — with fresh food kids can count on. Now through May 31, Maytag brand will match your gift, dollar for dollar, up to $75,000. Because when kids have steady, nourishing meals, they gain the focus and stability to build strong futures — from summer through graduation and beyond.

A Fridge That Opens Doors

Since 2021, Maytag brand has helped open the door to healthy meals by installing Feel Good Fridges stocked with fresh food at more than 50 Boys & Girls Clubs across the country. For over 2,400 kids each week, that fridge isn’t just an appliance — it’s access to dependable meals, nutrition education and a path they can build on.
